It is always a fun day in the Yuhas household when all the 4 girls are home from all over the country (me and my 3 sisters). Jennie is home from med school at Yale, Ducky is home from UCSB, and Allison is home from SoCal as well. And of course we went shopping with mom, and milked it for all it was worth! I pulled the guilt trip card, "well, but mom, you won't be able to take me shopping for a really long time!", and it worked like a charm. Managed to leave with some new clothes, as did Ducky and Jennie (and my mom even bought something for Mark, and he wasn't even there!)
Then on Saturday we had a little going away party at my aunt's house in San Jose, which was maybe the best party ever! The Montulli family joined us for a day of fun, and we ended up swimming all day long. Later on in the evening we toasted marshmallows, and Jamie preceded to eat 2 whole hershey's bars and probably 10 marshmallows. Then we got a family game of soccer going, which brought out the competitive nature in Ducky, who was ripping soccer balls as hard a she possibly could (keep in mind we were playing with a 6 and 2 year old as well). Oh Ducky, the the blonde, bronzed and beautiful sister is really a secret soccer superstar. Who knew?
Overall, it has been a fun weekend, and it is making me realize just how much I am going to miss everyone here in California. Although strangely, it still doesn't seem like we are moving out of the country in just one week...
Just a few of the photos of our party in the pool! Complements of Ashley Montulli. :)

We move across the world 2 weeks from today! While it is going to be hard to be away from the US, we are both getting excited to go to New Zealand! We get to move in to our new house a week after we get there, start some fun renovation projects (easy ones, I hope), and go from there. Everyone wants to know what I am going to be doing over there while Mark is busy getting his phD, and the real answer is, I have no idea! I have thought about trying to pursue some interests I have never really had a chance to get right into, such as photography, or interior design. We will just have to wait and see! And as I mentioned earlier, I did just buy a very nice, verrrry expensive new camera, so I should have some wonderful pictures to upload over the next three years! Also, we ARE keeping track of all of you people that said, "We are going to come visit you guys!" so we should be seeing anywhere from 10-30 visitors over the next 3 years! Look forward to showing all you guys around! We have exactly 3 weeks until we move to New Zealand. We have packed up all our belongings into a container, and they are en route as we speak (somewhere in the middle of the ocean I presume). We say prayers every day (or at least we should) that we see all of our stuff again! It should be interesting since we can move into our new house about 2 weeks before our stuff is going to arrive... it will be a very empty house for a few weeks! |
